Amazon announced today that they were going to have an International version of the Kindle for sale for the holiday season. Until now the Kindle has used Sprint’s EVDO network to get purchases and updates from the Internet. Unfortunately for current Kindle owners, Sprint’s radio technology doesn’t work overseas.

Enter AT&T and its global standard HSDPA network. Amazon has worked out a similar deal with AT&T as it did with Sprint, except on the AT&T version, you can roam in 100 countries with your Kindle. You can even buy the new Kindle internationally for use with US books.
